Got any info / pics on your bike setup? I've got a drz but was considering upsizing to something orange (prob a 690)

Sure thing.
Info on bike set up: I have converted the bike that I set up and used only for off road back to a trail bike, while trying to keep it as standard as possible. Mine is a K6 model while Bruce's is a K11. They are pretty much identical.
Mods:
respring & revalve suspension, Andy strapz racks and soft panniers, B&B rack & bash plate, safari tank (translucent 17l), renthal bars with a higher bend, bark busters, pivot pegs (they were good off road), reshaped seat (wider), aftermarket muffler, taillight & indicators. I have Heidenau tyres on it and that is about it.
I have some pics and info about the trip on Facebook.com/latrobe.2wheels
Cheers,
Ro
